Chapter 131 Whale and Shrimp (3)
Frondier was moving to a certain location with Elodie.
I left the car with Lili and Arald. They each got in their car and headed to the capital. Including Selena.
They also had work to do.
And Basileo, who is still unable to return to the front, will be with Carla at the hospital where Pielot was left.
Wheeeeee—!!
The wind passes between them at high speed.
Unless they had a car, their means of transportation was flying.
Elodie was the only one who could keep up with Frondier’s flight speed, so this combination seemed natural at first glance.
But Frontier had another reason for bringing Elodie along.
“…excuse me.”
While flying for a while, Elodie opened her mouth.
“Are you really trying to kill all 72 demons?”
Elodie is just following Frondier right now, and doesn’t know where she’s going.
However, I can only roughly infer it from the message that Gregory was asked to deliver to Bael.
Elodie does not question Frontier’s strategy at all. At least, if Frontier’s emotions and judgment are in the right state.
“no.”
Frontier responds immediately.
While Elodie was dumbfounded, Frondier spoke.
“Looking at the situation, Bael didn’t make that big of a mistake.”
It was almost certainly Charon who put Pielot and them in danger. Of course, the devil next to Charon must have interfered significantly. Even the monsters of the abyss have appeared.
It may be true that Bael gave him some information about Frondier, but it would not have been information he gave to attack Frondier when it was clear that he would be in danger if things went wrong. It’s not that stupid.
‘And Charon knew more information than Bael knew about me.’
Even if other information could be picked up from here and there, Charon knew information that was unknown to that extent.
Maximum range of Menosorpho. The monsters surrounding Frontier and his party were waiting exactly outside that range.
Menosorpho is, of course, a means of weaving in the air, but as it is a magic circle, it also has the ability to detect enemies who enter it.
Frontier has rarely shown its full range.
What’s more, even if you show the maximum range, the opponent doesn’t know whether it is the maximum or not.
‘Someone who already knew what Menosorpo was from the beginning gave information to Charon.’
So when this incident occurred, Bael’s sin was not that serious.
To put it bluntly, is it just that he revealed information about Frondier to encourage people to avoid Frondier? In addition, the charge of trying to withdraw as soon as he learned of the situation was added.
“Then why did you say that to Bael?”
“I wanted to check a few things.”
“check?”
“huh.”
Frondier spread a finger.
“First, do the 72 devils have their own sense of belonging?”
“A sense of belonging?”
“The 72 devils are devils designated by humans. They won’t have anything to do with each other. But that doesn’t happen as time goes by after it’s designated.”
72 Even though they had nothing to do with each other before they were called devils.
Once designated, of course they become aware of each other’s existence. At the very least, we can infer that he is a demon whose power is comparable to his own. Of course, you may have known each person to some degree before that due to their fame.
“In that case, the 72 demons could become one force. In fact, we already accept it that way to some extent.”
“Well, that’s right. “Because we are already assuming that the 72 demons are participating in Bael’s operation.”
Bael’s strategy to encourage Satan to take action by threatening war with God.
Of course, he couldn’t have done it alone, and his collaborator would have been 72 Devils.
“And if there is a sense of belonging.”
Frondier raised another finger.
“Isn’t the number 72 too high?”
“…huh?”
“I have never seen 72 people with similar armed forces all moving in unison. Like Zodiac or Paladin, the maximum would be about 12 people.”
Honestly, even 12 people are too many.
It is natural to see that the 12 people have conflicting opinions.
“…In other words, even the 72 demons can disagree with each other?”
“If only it were similar to humans in that respect. “I want to check that.”
So said Frontier.
Go back through the 72 demons in reverse order and kill them all.
Will Frontier really move like that?
From Bael’s perspective, the answer is ‘unknown’.
I don’t know to what extent Bael understands the situation, but it is clear that Pielot is injured.
“If that story reached Bael’s ears, my ‘anger’ towards him would be quite believable.”
“Is even your anger fake?”
“No way.”
Frontier’s eyes are clear as he answers.
“The target of this anger is not Bael. “Bael doesn’t know that.”
If Bael has a sense of belonging to the 72 demons, and if there is someone among them that he is particularly close to, there is no way for him not to respond to Frondier’s threat.
“The important thing is when will Bael arrive? “If he comes before I do anything, for example, if Bael appears in front of me at this moment, I can assume that ‘Number 72’ is a fairly important demon to Bael.”
“…What if he doesn’t come?”
“It’s a shame. Number 72.”
Frontier’s dry voice. Then Elodie looked at the side of Frondier’s face.
“So, are we going to number 72? now?”
“huh. “Gregory told me the location.”
This is when Gregory returned to Frontier.
Frontier has a different level and breadth of information than before.
It was an easy task for Gregory to find someone as famous as the 72 Devils and whose appearance and characteristics were all known.
“…To kill you?”
“It depends on the situation.”
Elodie’s face became anxious at Frondier’s answer. Frondier asked him.
“what’s the matter? “Just the two of us can take it down.”
“I’m not worried about that.”
Elodie doesn’t think Frontier will lose to the 72 Demons. It wasn’t something to be considered in the first place.
“It’s just that I stayed with Lili and Arald.”
Elodie’s words came out with difficulty.
Lili and Arald are demons, just like the 72 demons.
To Elodie, the two were no different from humans, and they developed a close relationship.
On the Palind Continent, demons are beings that can never be with humans and are enemies that must be condemned, but that is no longer the case for Elodie.
There is hesitation in killing a devil because he is a devil.
“Frondier, that’s what you told me. There is no difference between devils and humans. 72Even if it’s a devil.”
“Elodie.”
Frondier opened his mouth at that time.
The face was calm.
“I told you. “It depends on the situation.”
“…Frondier.”
“And in many situations, the option of killing 72 demons is extremely low probability.”
Frontier understands Elodie’s feelings.
That doesn’t mean I want to commit unnecessary killings. I just do it when I have no choice.
‘…but. The opponent is 72 Devil.’
Even if you don’t commit evil deeds right now.
It is impossible to know how many people in the past may have been driven into misfortune, or whether they did not do so at all.
Of course, this is a good thing for Frontier. The devil is not the only thing that makes humans unhappy. Humans also make humans unhappy.
Do we condemn all such people? While you deny this question, you are only applying the same standard to the devil.
However, it is unclear whether Elodie will accept it.
“…Elodie. “I just want to ask you one thing.”
Frontier changed the topic.
“huh? What?”
“You can talk to the god who gave you divine powers, right?”
“…I can’t talk to all of them, though. Is it possible.”
In particular, I talk to Rudra quite a bit.
As if reading his thoughts,
he said, “The weave I use.”
“…!”
Elodie took a deep breath.
Frontier asked whether he had heard that or not.
“What does God think?”
Elodie hesitated for a moment. I don’t know how to answer this question.
But as expected, what was said was honest.
“…I said ‘blasphemy.’ “They said there would be no God who could forgive that.”
Elodie tells Rudra exactly what she heard.
Above all else, the weaving of the frontier is a clear affront to God. A clear target of divine punishment that will make no difference in terms of position or viewpoint.
“There is no God to forgive. “Is it clear?”
“…huh.”
Elodie nodded with a somewhat heavy heart.
“also.”
Frondier nodded with a refreshing look on his face.
* * *
The place they arrived at was a village.
A village quite far from the capital and isolated with no other cities nearby.
Although peddlers occasionally visit, they have to travel a difficult distance.
A place where security is inevitably low and most problems have to be solved within the village.
“hi.”
Frondier entered the pawn shop in the village and greeted the owner.
The owner put down the objects and tools he was examining and looked at Frondier, as if he had expected him to come.
“…You really came.”
A somewhat light and friendly tone. He speaks in a manner as if he is an acquaintance of Frontier.
“Have you ever met?”
When Elodie asked him, it was Frontier who answered.
“no. This is a tactic used by many demons. “If you speak kindly, people tend to make it sound like the story is helpful to them.”
“…Why on earth do you know that?”
While the two were talking, the pawn shop owner cast his gaze behind his back.
“Hey, I’m here. “What are you going to do?”
Accordingly, the door behind the pawn shop, where the warehouse was presumed to be, opened.
What appeared was Bael.
The corner of Frondier’s mouth rose at that.
“It’s good that you act quickly. Bael.”
“…According to what you said, it makes sense to wait here.”
“That’s true.”
Elodie listened to their conversation and checked Bael’s appearance.
‘…That’s Bael.’
A dangerous person to whom Elodie’s mana detection reacts strongly.
Bael, King of Hell.
‘…Uh, it’s a bit strange.’
Elodie’s mana detection is different from Frondier’s sixth sense. Frontier’s sixth sense is focused on ‘observation’. So it reacts more sensitively, accurately, and quickly.
However, Elodie’s mana detection is closer to ‘observation’. So it’s a bit slower than your sixth sense, but you can know more as you observe.
‘This man has little power compared to his rank.’
Elodie sees what Frontier did not see. Because Frontier can’t see ‘class’. This ‘level’ is also Elodie’s arbitrary interpretation, which is determined by synthesizing and inferring many things found through mana detection.
‘Now that I think about it, Frontier said. ‘Bael is the same as Beelzebub, so it’s strange that the two exist.’
Could this sense of discomfort she felt help her interpret it?
Meanwhile, Bael asked Frondier.
“Frondier, are you planning to kill Andro?”
Andro. The moment Frontier heard it, he knew who it was.
Demon number 72, Andromalius. Why bother calling it short?
“It depends on the situation.”
Frondier speaks exactly as he answered Elodie.
Frondier glanced at Andro.
‘…I don’t feel any threatening mana right now, but not all demons have mana.’
Frondier looked at Bael again and spoke.
“Bael, I roughly figured it out. What are you thinking? “I understand your desire to return to the demon world. So, shall we have a conversation?”
“…I have nothing when it comes to Charon,”
when Bael said that.
Frondier made a gun shape with his fingers and pointed it at Andro.
Pick─
Andro collapsed.
“…!”
“uh…!”
Bael and Elodie froze in surprise.
Frondier said.
“Now, shall we try again?”
“….”
Frondier told Bael what he had just done, as if that moment had never happened.
“Let’s have a conversation, Bael.”
